Survey: Large majority in favor of greater independence in energy imports
88 percent of those surveyed are in favor of greater independence in energy imports. What the survey also shows about the assessment of power sources.
A recent survey by Civey on behalf of Green Planet Energy found that 88% of Germans consider it important for the country to be independent from foreign energy imports. The survey of 5,000 citizens also revealed that people have different opinions on the cheapest way to generate electricity, with 36% naming solar energy and 35% naming nuclear power.
A demonstration is planned in Berlin today to protest against the government's plans for the energy sector. The survey also found that many people underestimate the actual costs of nuclear power and the number of people employed in the renewable energy sector, which is around 436,000.
